BEN: ITS NOT NIKE STDAIUM!!
KEYS WRONG!

Fecks sake.

First the faulty feckin fire alarms, and now the wrong keys.

I've never pronounced the E as EE anyway. Always thought that the yanks call it Nikee but over here we call it Nike.
I'm probably wrong though!

Only try hards pronounce Nike as Nik-ee, IMHO.

Seems strange for a media guy to announce something so major, with such officious confidence, and for it to be completely wrong.

However, it is Richard Keys we're talking about. It's possible that he dreamt it all the night before, staggered into the studio wearing nothing but a pair of piss stained y-fronts, and told everyone that he had inside info on the new Spurs stadium.

On balance, I'm leaning towards the latter explanation.

Richard Keys has all the credibility of David Ike.

I can live with the Nike stadium although will still be called The Lane

No spurs fan will call it whatever its called. To us it will always be the lane. I would suggest that might scare a sponsor off, but the home fanbase alone means fuck all to sponsors.

If MP and the players kept referring to it as the Nikey Stadium for instants, then we would eventually fall in line. It is not an unpleasant name.

In my opinion it will be called " The Nike Arena"

I don't normally quote myself, but I did say this back in Sept 2017

Richard Herring been doing this for a few years now. Used it as a good way to raise money for charity and he talks about it in his podcast.

yep...I don't know why but here in the US we've always said/heard NIKE-ey. And after a little research, it appears we're saying it correctly: https://www.theguardian.com/media/s...nd-names-audi-adidas-porsche-yvessaintlaurent

Yeah named after the Greek goddess Nike and pronounced Nikey

 

[topper]

Would it mean a certain community will now be known as FTN?

 

[JW72]

God knows what you'll catch!

...one of Tripp's recent crosses, probably.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

How long before we're known as Pykies at the Nikey?
